Gaze upon sultry strangers as they browse the shelves, or take a blind date with a book chosen for you by our Librarians of Love.

As you enjoy the Literary Lounge you will be serenaded on the piano by award-winning Cabaret artist Peter Casey with music from your favourite books and films. Make a request and see what happens!
